EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order brings into force on 6th April 2006 Part 6 of Schedule 15 to the Civil Partnership Act 2004 (c. 33) ("the Act"). Part 6 provides for the court to have regard to pension protection fund compensation when considering the question of financial relief on the dissolution or annulment of a civil partnership or on the legal separation of civil partners. It also brings into force certain provisions of Schedule 17 to the Act which make similar provision where a civil partnership is dissolved or annulled or civil partners have been legally separated overseas and an application for financial relief is made in Northern Ireland.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument. A regulatory impact assessment identifying the impact on business and the exchequer of the provisions in the Act was published at the time the Act received Royal Assent.
